Copycat Bob’s Big Boy Blue Cheese Salad Dressing

You can tell just by the picture how much I love this copycat Bob’s Big Boy blue cheese salad dressing. There’s no way I could’ve fit more into my dressing cup. This is my kind of dressing. Perfectly creamy. Just enough blue cheese flavor to wake up my taste buds without being too ‘funky’. A little sour cream tang. And crazy easy to make. This is a win on every front. I could drink this dressing.

Self-Control Isn’t Always My Thing

I try to be good. Really, I do. I try to not put too much of this copycat Bob’s Big Boy blue cheese salad dressing on my salad. I even got these great little cups to help me out. The idea is that I fill them with the dressing and leave the bottle or container of dressing in the kitchen. Far away. Out of sight. It usually works. Though I almost cheated this time. I definitely put as much dressing in my cup as would fit.

Wings. Dip. Anything.

I also use this dressing for dipping chicken wings. It’s also fantastic for dipping vegetables. Try it! And make extra!

Blimpie’s Trio Supreme Sub In A Tub

I used to work near a Blimpie’s restaurant. When lunchtime rolled around, my thoughts would always turn to having one of their delicious subs on their even-more-delicious bread. Now I make salad versions of the subs I love at home. Like this Blimpie’s Trio Supreme sub in a tub. All of my favorite Blimpie toppings are here. Turkey and roast beef. A little cheese. Tomato and onion of course. And bacon! Yes! Bacon!

Blimpie's Trio Supreme Sub In A Tub

A Little Prep Goes A Long Way

I usually have ‘salad weeks’. To make things go smoothly, I do as much preparing ahead of time as I can. That way when it comes time to make my lunch, such as this Blimpie’s Trio Supreme sub in a tub, I can have it put together in just minutes. I chop a combination of iceberg and green leaf lettuces and put them in a sealable tub with a paper towel to help keep them fresh. I bake a package of bacon, drain it, and freeze it. That way I just need to microwave it for 20 minutes and boom, it’s ready for my salad.

Onion is chopped and placed in a resealable container. I use roma tomatoes because they hold up well. So, I chop them too and place them into the fridge.

I could pre-cut my sandwich meats and cheese, but I like doing those the day I am having my salad. Who knows, I might change my mind from the day before about what I want on my salad. So I just wait. It’s not like they take that long to cut!

Firehouse Subs Italian Sub In A Tub

I’m gonna fess up. Just because I’m having a salad for my lunch doesn’t necessarily mean that I’ve taken a healthier route in my eating. I probably should. I do have a thing about sandwich meat on a salad that I can’t seem to control. So when I made this Firehouse Subs Italian sub in a tub I kinda went crazy with it. This is what happens when I make my lunch when I’m hungry instead of in the morning.

All my favorites are in this tub. Salami. Pepperoni. Ham. And of course, provolone. The perfect combination. This is a great way to take an otherwise normal (kinda boring) salad to a better place. A tastier place.

Firehouse Subs Italian Subs In A Tub

It’s Easy. Super Easy.

Making a Firehouse Subs Italian sub in a tub is really easy. And I so love the end results. I use a combination of iceberg and green leaf lettuces. I chop them into bite-sized pieces but you could tear them instead. All that’s left to do is slice a few sandwich meats and some cheese. A little chopped tomato and onion and I’m ready to eat.

The Finishing Touches

Oops! Not quite ready to eat yet! I always add a bit of salt and pepper. Well, I have an asterisk to that. If the sandwich meats I use are high in sodium, and they often are, I will skip the salt. But I never skip the pepper.

All I need is my favorite dressing and I’m good to go!

Sure, I coulda got a sub for lunch. But I wasn’t in the mood for all that bread. Plus I’m all about making my lunch at home. I work here. I’m not going out to grab a sandwich. So I made a Subway All-American Club sub in a tub! And boy was it a mighty delicious salad! All my favorite things on a super-easy-to-make lunch-sized salad!

Subway All-American Club Sub In A Tub

The No-Bread Zone

Everything is here on my Subway All-American club sub in a tub that can be found on the store-made sandwich. I chop the lettuce and tomatoes the day before. And I bake a package of bacon the day ahead, keeping the crispy pieces in the freezer for moments and dishes like this. Twenty seconds in the microwave any they’re nice and toasty yumm!

So the day of lunch I just cut up some meat and cheese, add a little salt and pepper and I’m ready! Oh yeah! Dressing! For the dressing I just grab whatever suits my fancy!

Copycat Red Lobster Creamy Caesar Salad Dressing

This copycat Red Lobster creamy Caesar salad dressing reminded me that there isn’t enough Caesar dressing in my life. I keep forgetting how good it is. Nice and creamy. A little tangy. Kinda garlicky but not too much so. Wait… anchovy paste? Yes. If you fear the anchovy, don’t. Embrace it. It’s not overpowering, not even. But this dressing needs it. And you need it.

Copycat Red Lobster Creamy Caesar Salad Dressing

It Tastes Fancy.

There’s nothing complicated here. You’re not going to make a mess of the kitchen when you make this copycat Red Lobster creamy Caesar salad dressing. Five ingredients and a little time and you’ll be enjoying tastes-fresh-made goodness.

A Little Control.

Need help with self-control around great salad dressings? I do. A lot. So I use these little sauce cups. The idea is that I put all the dressing I need (not necessarily want) into the cup and put that on my plate. I leave the bottle or container of the rest of the dressing in the kitchen. Far away. Out of sight. Not out of mind, but far away that I might resist going and getting more. That’s touch to do around great dressings like this one.

Jersey Mike’s Club Supreme Sub In A Tub

I love having a sub in a tub for lunch. They’re super easy to make. They taste just like their sandwich big brothers, but without the bread. Today I made a Jersey Mike’s Club Supreme sub in a tub. I start with a few handfuls of fresh-chopped lettuce. I like a combination of about half iceberg and half green leaf lettuce. Then I add some sliced sandwich meats. In this case, turkey and roast beef. I then grab a few pieces of cooked bacon out of the freezer, microwave it for about 15 seconds, and chop. Next, a little chopped Swiss, tomato and onion. And I never forget some salt and pepper. No salad is complete without it!

Jersey Mike's Club Supreme Sub In A Tub

The Perfect Lunch In A Tub

I use whatever dressing I have on hand to top my Jersey Mike’s Club Supreme sub in a tub. I drizzle a bit over the top then stir it up. One nice thing about making these salads in a tub is that I don’t have to worry about getting all of it coated in my dressing. It’s easy to stir inside the tub.

Cleanup is easy too. Just toss the container into the dishwasher!

Prepare Ahead

The day I make these I just grab containers out of the fridge. The lettuce, tomatoes and onions are already chopped for me. Each in its own container. I spend a little time two days a week getting everything together. After that, it’s just pretty much just ‘everyone into the tub’! For the sandwich meats, I like to stack the meats and then roll them up like a cigar. A quick slice and boom! Cool little meat rolls!

I prefer to bake my bacon. I then freeze it. It’s perfect for topping my salads! It’s ready in seconds, just wrap in a paper towel and microwave for 15 seconds.

Copycat Kraft Catalina Salad Dressing

I’ve made my share of copycat recipes. Some come out great, tasting and even looking like the original. Some… meh. Well this copycat Kraft Catalina salad dressing is even better than the original. That same fantastic French dressing-like flavor. A little tangy. A little sweet. And just the perfect consistency for a salad. For me, it’s spot-on what I am looking for in any dressing, be it a copycat or not.

There Goes The Self-Control. Again.

I have to exercise self-control around this copycat Kraft Catalina salad dressing. Or try to at least. I’m pretty heavy-handed with my dressing, specially if it’s one I love as much as this one. Instead of serving it in a bottle or cruet, I use some small sauce cups. The theory is that I put one serving of dressing into a cup and put that on my plate. That’s the theory anyways.

Perfect For Dunking, Too

I’ve been known to dunk my salad ingredients in my dressing. These little cups (that were supposed to be for portion control) make that even easier. Just poke that little piece of broccoli or cherry tomato or whatever, and into the dressing pool we go! This dressing is so good that dunking is not only allowed, it’s encouraged!

Bolthouse Farms Avocado Green Goddess Salad Dressing

One thing is for sure about Bolthouse Farms Avocado Green Goddess salad dressing. You won’t be hunting around for the classic herby green goddess flavor. It’s right there, right up front. Parsley, basil and chives are plentiful in this buttermilk-based slightly peppery dressing. It tastes fresh from the moment you open the bottle until you pour the last drop. The avocado adds a nice creaminess to every bite and adds a nice balance to the dressing.

Great Flavor Without The Fake Stuff

All of the dressings I’ve tried from Bolthouse Farms have been really tasty. You know how sometimes you get a dressing and hope it tastes even a little bit like the label says? Well, fear not with these. Bolthouse Farms Avocado Green Goddess salad dressing lives up to the expectations I had from just looking at the bottle.
